Transfer news: Swansea confirm Gylfi Sigurdsson will not travel to US for pre-season tour after Everton make £40m move

Swansea have announced Gylfi Sigurdsson has not travelled with the rest of the squad for the pre-season tour of the United States.

The club say the Icelandic playmaker is 'not in the right frame of mind to travel' after Everton tabled a £40m bid for his services.

Swansea have not yet accepted the offer but it is understood that Sigurdsson is keen to make the move and will hold talks with chairman Huw Jenkins over his future on Thursday.

Paul Clement insisted he wanted to keep hold of the 27-year-old after Wednesday's 1-0 friendly defeat at Barnet but conceded the 'business side to football' means the club may be forced to sell.

"Swansea City can confirm that Gylfi Sigurdsson will not travel with the squad to America for the pre-season tour," said a statement on the official club website.

"Having played against Barnet last night, Gylfi did not feel in the right frame of mind to travel this morning due to the current uncertainty over his future."

It now seems inevitable that Sigurdsson is on his way with Everton determined to land the former Reading and Tottenham man, even if Swansea reject their opening offer.

It is has been a stunning summer for the Merseyside club, with majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri funding a huge spending spree for boss Ronald Koeman.

Sigurdsson will be the seventh new arrival at Goodison Park in the close season should he seal a switch and could take Everton's outlay beyond £140million.

Goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, defender Michael Keane, midfielder Davy Klaassen and strikers Sandro Ramirez and Henry Onyekuru have all arrived this summer, while England's record goalscorer Wayne Rooney has also returned to the club.
